All Things Must Pass: 1943-2001 George Harrison was my favorite Beatle. I am celebrating his birthday today by playing All Things Must Pass, which is not only his best album but arguably the best solo album by any former Beatle. That includes Paul McCartney's Ram and what ever John Lennon album has "#9 Dream" on [...]
Quigley: 2005 – 2007 It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to Quigley, my favorite Red Cap Oranda who was found laying motionless on the gravel of the Chick Tank this morning. Farewell little friend, may you swim free in fish heaven.

Patty, you are my heroine!!
I Interviewed Two of These Guys While performing a cursory trawl through my archives an hour or so ago, I suddenly realised that I had neglected to archive my interviews with Nick Rhodes (2000) and Simon LeBon (1997) of Duran Duran.
